Hi,
   Try this one.
http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/embedded-device-servers
Then click on either xport or wiport.
You can get them from mouser
http://www.mouser.com/lantronix/
And select the one you want.
It's cheaper to buy a xport approx $50 American and buy a wireless 
router to plug it into. Add a ethernet web cam if you want video.
And connect to it with a pc, laptop or pocketpc.

And yes it's a serial to ethernet. Easy as.
You can set it up the virtial serial port on the pc, plug the xport 
it into a say a serial modem. Now plug that into anywhere on your 
network and access the modem as if it was pluged directly into the pc.
I have vb code to access as a remote serial port if any one wants it.
Java is better cause you can store it on the internal web interface 
and use it anywhere.
Here's some good sites.

I highly recomend these.
And is a slight bit bigger than a normal rg45 connector but runs off 
3.3v thats all.
